Description from the seller

The Great Maneuver [The Great Maneuvers, The Truth]

René Clair (director, screenwriter)

Brigitte Bardot, Michèle Morgan, Gérard Philippe, Jean Desailly (with)

No location. No location, circa 1955. Borderless reference photograph, taken from the French film of 1955. One is a close-up of the actress Brigitte Bardot seated with the director René Clair. French agency stamp on the reverse.

Clair's first color film, largely inspired by his childhood. A French womanizer lieutenant bets he can seduce a woman before the start of the regiment’s summer maneuvers, only to discover that his target, a Parisian divorcee, is not like the others.

Photographs of varying dimensions: from 26 x 18 cm to 26 x 16.5 cm. Very good overall condition.

Seller's Story

“L’œil du Douard” is dedicated to all lovers of photography. This site offers prints from my personal collection featuring renowned "signatures", as well as prints entrusted to me by collectors for private sale. The proofs are mostly printed manually and using the silver process. In 2019, with the creation of the Atelier/Galerie Taylor in Paris, I extend another way of the medium. Transmit, accompany and promote the work of photographers who are dear to me, both from the 20th century and more contemporary. The images offered here touch me, challenge me, sometimes question, often inspire. Thank you to all those who have nourished my life path with their precious presence and support over the years and tomorrow! This site is a tribute to photographers and their work. Jose Nicolas
